My Voyage To Italy takes us on a journey through his the films that inspired him, taking in the neo-realism of De Sica, the surrealism of Fellini and the groundbreaking, redefining work of Antonioni.

The award-winning epic documentary My Voyage To Italy is a truly fascinating insight into some of the greatest Italian films of all time. Presented as a stunning two-disc DVD set it will be released for the first time on DVD on 26 September 2011 courtesy of Mr Bongo Films.
